Learn to Fingerstyle Any Song · 原调 C · 最后更新
Besides how to ‘hear’ chords, the other question that I get alot is this: How do you fingerstyle any song that you hear?
Before I go on, here’s a disclaimer: while I can generally play any song that I hear using basic fingerstyle, I am really no expert.
But if you are still interested, here are my 5 tips to master fingerstyle playing.
The 2 most important scales to master: C major and G major.
C Major Practice #1:
E|--------------------------------------0--1--3--
B|-----------------------------0--1--3-----------
G|-----------------------0--2--------------------
D|--------------0--2--3--------------------------
A|-----0--2--3-----------------------------------
E|--3--------------------------------------------
E|--3--1--0--------------------------------------
B|-----------3--1--0-----------------------------
G|--------------------2--0-----------------------
D|--------------------------3--2--0--------------
A|-----------------------------------3--2--0-----
E|--=-----------------------------------------3--

Rationale: By learning to play different fingerstyle arrangements using existing tabs, you will be able to achieve thumb-finger coordination that is often needed for the melody and accompaniment to be played simultaneously.
Example: Johann Pachelbel - Canon
#4 Accentuate the melody
#5 Experiment with alternate tunings
Being the conservative guitarist, I hate to stray away from standard tunings. Like suddenly the all familiar landscape becomes changed.
But increasingly, I realized that alternate tunings can allow some songs to be played more easily.
A common one that I use whenever I do fingerstyle in the key of G is to drop the tuning of the 5th string to G (Drop G tuning?).
G C
Example: 张惠妹 - 身后
